THIS STUNNINGLY CLEAR drone footage from SkycamIreland shows how a Wexford couple’s former home is slowly toppling into the sea.

Maureen and Roddy Hickson (aged in their 60s and 70s respectively) had to abandon their home at Donaghmore, Ballygarrett earlier this month, they told the Wexford People.

The couple, whose home has been badly damaged by the latest winter storms, said they had been left homeless after being forced to abandon the house and that they would be moving in with a relative in Dublin.
